Many Matthews homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s, and by now the exterior has been through two or three paint cycles. That is when trim starts to rot, caulk fails and older siding needs more than a fresh coat. Perfection Painting Pros has painted homes around Charlotte for more than 15 years, and we fix those problems before we paint.
Rot shows up first on window sills, door frames, fascia boards and the bottom edges of siding. We probe for soft wood, replace what is damaged, and prime the repairs before painting. Some older homes also have hardboard siding that swells when water gets in. We seal edges and repaint to keep it protected, and we will tell you honestly if boards need replacing.
We also paint older homes near downtown and Trade Street, where wood siding and porches need careful scraping and priming. The prep takes longer, and we build that into the estimate so there are no surprises.
Every exterior starts with a walkthrough and written estimate, then pressure washing, scraping, repairs, caulking and priming before any finish coat. Our work is backed by a 1-year warranty, and you don’t pay until the job is complete and you’re satisfied.
How do I know if my trim has wood rot?
Soft spots, peeling paint that keeps coming back, and dark staining around sills and corners are common signs. We check every trim board during the estimate.
Can hardboard siding be painted?
Yes, if it is still in good shape. Swollen or crumbling boards should be replaced first, and all edges need to be sealed.
How long does an exterior repaint take in Matthews?
Most homes take four to seven working days depending on size, repairs and weather.
